    >In her statement of the denial, Gov. Hobbs wrote that the damage documented by preliminary damage assessments far exceeded “the thresholds historically used to justify federal disaster assistance.”

    >”By denying much-needed relief, this administration is leaving Arizonans out on their own after their homes, businesses, roads, and bridges were decimated by historic storms,” Gov. Hobbs wrote. “I will appeal this reckless decision and continue doing everything in my power to ensure Arizona communities don’t pay the price for the federal government’s senseless policies.”

    >People we spoke with in Globe on Dec. 24 expressed their surprise at the denial.

    >”It’s amazing that they gave a no, knowing the devastation that took place here. A river that flowed through our city, that actually killed three people,” said Globe Mayor Al Gameros.

    >”I know what its like when the cash register goes out, your credit card machine goes out, your computers go out. Those are expensive items. People need that money now. And then to be denied it – that’s terrible,” said Brenda Tyler, the owner of Globe Antique Mall.

  2. Trump is weaponizing the government to enact his sadistic fantasies upon us all. Trump is the Antichrist, or close enough that the difference doesn’t matter much.

    I really can’t think of any time in the past that FEMA has denied an emergency. Maybe it’s a confirmation uas, but I can’t think of states arbitrarily declaring a disaster and FEMA just not even sending somebody. 

  4. Time to shut FEMA down all together.  If my state can’t get disaster funds because Trump doesn’t like us or because he wants to extort something for the money, why are we paying into it?

    FEMA for all or FEMA for none.

    Use guns to remind this government what happens when rulers stop acting beholden to ALL of America. The evildoers won’t punish themselves.

    In the 2024 election, 68% of Gila County voted foe Trump. AZ voted for Trump. Oh, well so sad they got what they voted for.

    We must vote for someone who the president adminstration will not punish us for out of political petty spite!

    The latter is now America.

  11. They’ll have to make a deal on pardoning Peter’s to get aid. All part of the extortionist Presidency we have now
